 Henry Vyfvinkel has walked both sides of the St. Lawrence College corridors. As a student he successfully completed the Fine Arts Certificate Program, as well as the Teacher of Adults Program. Henry has combined these two accomplishments; until age 60 he was the Creative Arts Coordinator on the Brockville Campus. Henry always finds time in his busy schedule to instruct at the 1000 Islands Summer School of the Arts. This is not surprising, as he was, after all, the creator of the program back in 1972. Henry has received numerous awards, and his works are in various collections throughout North America. In 1990, Henry was elected as a member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour. Those who have had the privilege to study with Henry come away with a fresh approach to painting, and a clearer understanding of what their style is, or should be. He is as much a part of the Fine Art Program on the Brockville Campus as the easels in the art room.
